I was truly saddened to recently learn of Skipper's passing. I knew Larry while sponsoring the Smokeys from 1998-2000,with the Good Nite Inns and the Ramada snd Howard Johmsom Hotels during my tenures as Sales & Marketing and General Manager. He was the definition of "character" and it was a blast being around him. Between constantly showing off his muscles and challenging me to arm wrestle, and talking about the years line-up and whether " that TV prima donna pitcher of mine can actually get one close to the plate", you never knew where the conversation would take you. His knowledge of baseball, generosity, and passion for the sport will be greatly missed. One of my fondest treasures is a baseball from the 2000 season signed by Larry, Tim Busfield, Fernando Vina, Omar Vizquel, and Rey Ordonez. May his spirit and example live on in the annals of baseball lore.
